Hello, at first I have to say, that I am new to this mailing list and if my proposal is absurde please don't plonk me :-) I am no kernel freak and so I can not implement the following idea. I think it would be quit useful to allow some code to be related to e.g. the i-nodes of directories. Consider therefore an example. At first, all directories have a default assignment to save memory. This default assignment may realize permission related stuff. Now some privileged users have the permission to add their own code, which must implement an interface and some standard functions and in addition they are able to trigger some events, e.g. write something to a log-file whenever a user enters the directory or start an application. What do you think about this idea? Is it feasible at all? Best regards, Steffen Mazanek
